American swimmer Kate Douglass has made history by breaking the first individual world record at the Swimming World Cup. She achieved this feat in the 200-meter breaststroke event with a time of 2:14.16, surpassing the previous record held by Rebecca Soni for almost 15 years. This achievement is significant as it marks the first time an individual world record has been broken since the super-suit era in swimming.
